Background technology
Along with the raising of communication apparatus integrated level, the power density of the rack (or machine box) of installation communication apparatus is increasing.In order to guarantee that communication apparatus is operated in the safe range, need carry out forced heat radiation to communication apparatus, in communication apparatus, be that heat eliminating medium carries out convection heat transfer promptly with the air.Owing to have SR (SR comprises the local pressure loss that caused by changing along the stroke pressure loss with by the speed of fluid and direction of causing such as friction force etc.) in the communication facilities usually, therefore need external force to drive in the communication facilities and carry out convection heat transfer, as often driving as external force in the prior art with fan, can overcome SR, the assurance cold air can be wanted to skim over from the needs cooling processing.
Usually, existing wind-cooling heat dissipating system comprise fan and be located on the casing into and out of the air port, this fan and air port dispose according to certain mode, form the air channel rack (or machine box) in, thereby reach the purpose that the device in the rack (or machine box) is dispelled the heat.In order to prevent in the heat radiation process, dust enters in the rack (or machine box), influence the device performance in the casing, generally Air Filter is set at the air inlet or the air outlet place of wind-cooling heat dissipating system, thus the air channel of formation such as whether fan runs well, Air Filter and air port whether unblocked plug determined the heat dispersion of wind-cooling heat dissipating system.
Thereby, fan damage or Air Filter or air port cause communication appliance fault in case stopping up the wind flow minimizing that will cause dispelling the heat, as the increase of optical module refrigeration electric current, chip overheating, system in case of system halt etc. in the communication apparatus, therefore need monitor in real time the rotating speed of each fan in the wind-cooling heat dissipating system and the unimpeded situation in air channel.
Present mode is to use the fan device of band rotation speed monitoring terminal, when in the system during any one fan stall, makes other fan in the system run on fast state by controller, report and alarm simultaneously, and prompting the maintainer change.
For the fault in air channel (for example into and out of the air port and Air Filter stop up), present mode is by each communications device single board in system temperature detecting point to be set, reflect by the temperature variations that detects veneer whether the air channel is unimpeded, when the veneer temperature surpasses detection threshold, faults such as obstruction may appear in report and alarm prompting maintainer air channel, should handle timely.
Though above-mentioned existing detection scheme can detect the heat dispersion of wind-cooling heat dissipating system, there is following problem:
Wind-cooling heat dissipating system performance for fan failure detects, and determines the system radiating performance by detecting rotation speed of the fan, but because fan stall detection signal suddenlys change, only just can export after the fan stall.And the inefficacy of fan is normally because bearing wear, and the dry or pyrometamorphism of lubricant, dust enter etc. and to cause, and concrete phenomenon is that rotation speed of the fan descends gradually.The fan stall detects can not identify this fault mode.Before the complete stall of fan, possible wind flow has dropped to the degree that influences system's operate as normal; After the fan stall report and alarm, the maintainer receive alarm be on the scene handle during this period of time in, system also may break down because of overheated.
Wind-cooling heat dissipating system performance for the air channel fault detects, determine the system radiating performance by the detection of veneer temperature, but because cost, every veneer can only be provided with one or several check point, can not the chip of each piece heating in the veneer all be detected.And the veneer temperature detection in fact detected be the temperature of the air or the printed circuit board (PCB) of machine frame interior veneer.Heating source on the veneer is the various chips that need heat radiation, and check point has with a certain distance from heating source, and middle medium is very big air of thermal resistance or printed circuit board (PCB) sheet material, causes check point temperature and chip temperature that the very big temperature difference is arranged.Therefore, when fan failure or air channel fault, before the veneer temperature detection value sent alarm above detection threshold, the single board chip temperature may surpass normal range of operation.
